Mike Montgomery
On getting a season high 37 assists: "I think there’s an extremely high correlation to shooting 57 percent. I just think that when the ball moves, we’re a much better team. When we get sticky with the ball, that’s when we run into problems. We moved the ball well, moved it side to side, got good pick and rolls and got penetration. We played very well early."

"I don’t know if home court has been any different than away. We’ve been pretty good away; we’re focused away. Ideally, you’d like to get home court advantage, get the crowd involved and get some confidence in playing at home. We have some home games in a row here—Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That will complete the month of November. We’ve just got to keep driving."

"It’s important because we have 17 games in November. We just have to battle. We have to keep battling. That’s a lot of games that we want to see if we can win as much as we can."

Ike Diogu
"I’m getting more comfortable with each game. I’m still making some mistakes on both ends, but I just want to play as hard as possible while I’m out on the floor. I’m just trying to make some things happen and guys are getting me the ball and fortunately the ball has been going in." "It was real frustrating having to watch the games, because I was never injured prior to this injury. My bread and butter is down low and I feel like that’s an area I can help with this team."

"We have this home stretch and it’s a must that we protect our home court and we’re winning and I’m just loving it."

"I’m getting more comfortable with each game. I’m still making a lot of mistakes on both ends of the floor. It’s just going to take time for me to really get into my rhythm."

"We played really well tonight on both the offense and defensive ends. It all started with our defense tonight. We took them out of a few things—and that led to good offense."

"Baron’s one of the best guards in the country. He was hitting everybody tonight."

Baron Davis
"I was aggressive early. I was penetrating, the defense was sucking in and I found my teammates. They knocked down the shots—it was great." "As I continue to get healthier and healthier, I can force the tempo on both ends. We’re coming together. We’re a young team, it’s a young season and we’re learning. We just have to learn to play at a high level night in and night out."

"I try to lead by example. I talk to guys and get them in the right position on the offensive end."
